About 3 Square Art

The Creative Spark

3 Square Art was born out the simple concept to create a space were artists, art lovers, and art buyers can come together and create art, share art, learn art, and buy art. Like a community square where people come together to share great ideas, the three squares of 3 Square Art are:

“CSL”

• [C]reate - A place for local artist to have a professional working space among other artists outside of a home studio space.

• [S]hare - A place for artists to share their work and art lovers and buyers can see and buy artwork both in a traditional gallery setting and online.

• [L]earn - A place for aspiring artists to learn the key concepts of art and professional artists to continue to hone their skills in a community of other working artists.

3 Square Art is the place for fine arts in Colorado. It’s time to get in to the Arts! Get a beautiful and professional art studio, enter artwork into one of our constantly changing exhibitions, and learn art or brush up your art skills. All at 3 Square Art.
